Detective Melissa Mercado, known for her viral pole-dancing performance in rapper S-Quire’s music video, has been transferred from the NYPD's special victims unit to the 50th Precinct amid concerns about her conduct. Following the video’s release, which has drawn significant public attention, her behavior was reviewed, leading to her pulling from active cases in the special victims unit. Despite earning $144,000 annually, Mercado's involvement in the music video raised moral questions, with critics expressing disapproval given her role as a special victims detective.
The NYPD detective who went viral earlier this month for her sultry pole-dancing performance in a hip-hop music video has been quietly transferred to a different Bronx precinct.
Det. Melissa Mercado was reassigned from her post on the special victim's unit to the 50th Precinct in Kingsborough on March 14, police records show.
